NINGAL (Ayres '32) Captivating indeed is this iridescent blue and 
buff iris that has an unusually smooth finish. The bronzy-buff stand¬ 
ards are slightly crinkled; the buff falls have an underlay of pale 
blue. 46". $.50 
NINIGRET (Hill '34) "No regrets" if you own Ninigret! This orange¬ 
appearing iris will tie together the tones of red and yellow in your 
garden. And, as it increases rapidly, you will find it a worthy addi¬ 
tion. 38". 3 for $1.50, $.75 
NORDIC (Kirk. '34) You will like this variegata of golden tan stand¬ 
ards and bright red-violet falls, for a garden decoration. In mass, this 
vigorous grower of tall stems and unusually large blooms makes a 
desirable display. 40". $.65 
NORMA GAGE (Gage '33) This iris opens first as a delicate pink 
then fades gradually to a faint pink-tinged white. The slender stems 
suppor* medium sized, gracefully fluffed flowers. 28". $.50 
NO-WE-TA (H. Sass '32) lust a mass of pink frills with a glint of 
yellow showing thro' them. Low-growing. $.50 
OJIBWAY (Kirk. '35) Your guess is correct — another Kirkland 
copper Indian. There are four in this group — Aztec, Magnetawan, 
Yours Truly and Timagami, coming soon. This Ojibway does not 
slouch, he has more copper color and is taller. The standards of the 
medium sized flowers, on high-branched stalks, are bright coppery 
tan; the flaring falls are rose-copper, with much yellow underlay, 
giving a coral velvet effect. Like all the Indians, this one is very 
vigorous. 40". H.M. '36. $3.00 
ORIANA (H. Sass '33) You will say a "must have" when you see 
thi.s large full flower with broad petals of purest white. It is almost 
perfect in form, with flaring falls. Very vigorous. 32". $1.25 
OSCEOLA (Wies. '36) "Osceola, the Indian name for rising sun, 
suggested by the extremely rich glowing beard, surrounded by a 
halo of gold and softest brown, which merges into the clear sky-blue 
of which the flower is made." A lovely, crinkled bloom. $2.00 
OSSAR (H. Sass '37) A glowing blackish red self, that defies de- 
scription. Medium in size; of good shape and substance; with 
low-branching stalks that support many buds. 32". $7.50 
OURAY (Thorn. '37) Just hear them shout hooray! 
When first they glimpse Ouray! 
Gleaming in brownish red is this striking iris, which is 
neither large nor tall, but is said to be the brightest iris of 
all. 28". $3.00 
OXHEART (Nich. '34) A cherry in name, a rose in color, a grape 
in fragrance, Oxheart is a rich, velvety, near-strawberry-red self, 
that has fine circular petals. 36". $.50 
OZONE (J. Sass '35) We can't live without Ozone, and neither can 
you. It is a unique blue-grey blend, made up of bluish violet with a 
beautiful pinkish sheen, like a mountain top at sunset. The beard is 
white, tipped with orange. The haft is distinguished by warm cop¬ 
pery brown. Visitors and judges gaze at it, breathe it in and vote it 
one of "the best" irises in every way — form, carriage, texture, sub¬ 
stance, and all-over proportion, in the garden. 36". H.M. '36. $4.00 
PADISHAH (Kirk. '37) Amber yellow in color, these large and well 
shaped flowers have gracefully flaring falls with a bright 
orange beard. Won the Silver Cup at the 1936 Nashville 
Iris Show, as the best iris developed in Nashville and not 
commercially introduced at that time. The stalks are slender, 
erect and excellently branched. 40". $10.00 
PALE MOONLIGHT (Essig '31) As we are enraptured by soft pale 
moonlight filtering gently thru the garden, so we are entranced by 
this clear campanula blue iris that glistens mysteriously among the 
others. The many blooms are large with semi-flaring falls and a 
bright orange beard; they are well carried on stately stalks. Enjoy 
this Pale Moonlight in a dry location. 36". $.50 
PARMA (Edl. '30) The red-orange beard so bright, an iridescent 
blue so bright, gives the iris lover great delight! Its metallic blue 
sheen is set off by the prominent beard. Parma, a famous Italian 
city; Parma, a renowned iris of great fame! 38". $.35 
PARTHENON (Conn. '34) Classic in structure, dignified in mien, 
refined in beauty, and lasting in influence was the old Greek tem¬ 
ple; thus is Parthenon the iris. A large handsome white with a faint 
suffusion of pure gold and with soft yellow styles and beard. Very 
prolific, tall and well branched. 38". H.M. '36. $.85 
PAULETTE (Mil. '30) Top notch! Away up high, we find those huge 
pale blue-lavender blooms. Easy to grow, and a wonderful display in 
the garden. 44". $.50 
PEACEMAKER (Mitch. '34) Oh Peacemaker! thou art our preach¬ 
er, bringing peace and quiet to us, the boisterous, gallant array of 
iris. Your pearly blue hue, blended vdth a soft shade of blue-violet, 
lends a calm and restful atmosphere. 48". H.M. '36. $1.00 
PESHAWAR (Schr. '37) Hybrid Intermediate. The coloring and 
form of William Mohr but a much better grower, being only 
one-eighth Oncocyclus. Of rich red-purple veined and dot¬ 
ted a deeper shade, with a double-sized rich gold beard. 
Two or three branches to the stalk. Ten days earlier than 
most irises. 24". $3.00

trast in color, the standards are tarnished gold and the falls are min¬ 
eral red. Tall and showy. 43". $1.00 
PINK JEWEL (Salb. '33) A precious pink gem! A true color de¬ 
scription when we say pink, as it lacks the lavender cast of so many 
so-called pinks. A warm tone; of rapid increase; lovely in mass. 
34". $.50 
PINK OPAL (I. Sass '34) An iridescent pastel shade of pink. Large 
flowers on rather narrowly branched stems. 38". $.50 
PINK SATIN (J. Sass '30) This lady clad in satin skirts of fascin¬ 
ating pink, would make a fitting partner to Douglas, a purple bicolor. 
She is the slender sister of Pink Opal. $.50 
PIUTE (Thorn. '37) A rich, pure red self with no trace of blue or 
purple in it; said to be the nearest approach to real red, that 
we now have among the irises. A well rounded, flaring 
flower of very heavy texture and smooth finish. 38". $15.00 
PLUIE D'OR (Cay. '28) A large yellow iris that we all adore. A 
golden yellow, fast growing and floriferous. $.25

blend; a symphony of full golden yellow standards and plum red 
falls, which are lighter at the edges. Opulent blooms fill the many 
branches, and several of them are open at the same time. $2.50

fresh bright pink that has interesting silvery high lights. A pink, 
pink rose, speaking of beauty to you. 36". $2.00

conspicuous bright orange. Low branched and late. 36". $.50
